Hybrid Supercapacitors from Framework Materials

Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Materials for Supercapacitors

We present the design and development of hybrid organic – inorganic materials with improved electrochemical performance to be used in energy storage applications (e.g. supercapacitors). The systematic study carried out shows various carbon–based materials (e.g. activated carbons, graphene based materials) working as active substrates where the anchoring of inorganic species takes place (i.e. po...

Advanced Asymmetrical Supercapacitors Based on Graphene Hybrid Materials

Synergetic Hybrid Aerogels of Vanadia and Graphene as Electrode Materials of Supercapacitors

The performance of synergetic hybrid aerogel materials of vanadia and graphene as electrode materials in supercapacitors was evaluated. The hybrid materials were synthesized by two methods. In Method I, premade graphene oxide (GO) hydrogel was first chemically reduced by L-ascorbic acid and then soaked in vanadium triisopropoxide solution to obtain V2O5 gel in the pores of the reduced graphene ...

Carbon Redox-Polymer-Gel Hybrid Supercapacitors

Energy storage devices that provide high specific power without compromising on specific energy are highly desirable for many electric-powered applications. Here, we demonstrate that polymer organic radical gel materials support fast bulk-redox charge storage, commensurate to surface double layer ion exchange at carbon electrodes. When integrated with a carbon-based electrical double layer capa...

Hybrid supercapacitors for reversible control of magnetism

Electric field tuning of magnetism is one of the most intensely pursued research topics of recent times aiming at the development of new-generation low-power spintronics and microelectronics. However, a reversible magnetoelectric effect with an on/off ratio suitable for easy and precise device operation is yet to be achieved. Here we propose a novel route to robustly tune magnetism via the char...
